"I have already called one of the leaders. It’s a fairy that always supports me. She will be here in a few minutes.”

“With her help, I might be able to do something for that woman. But we have to let them imprison her for now.”

When Bastion finishes explaining - breathless thanks to running here - everyone is relieved. Not only his three friends but the nearby witches as well...

“Razran, should we take her to the underground chambers?”

“This is something the elder fairies should decide. But many of them are busy at the moment. And we shouldn’t let the commotion worsen.”

And they are even more relieved when a peaceful supervisor speaks up, drawing Razran’s attention.

“Hmm? No way. Why would I let such a person stay inside Evergreen Abode any longer? I would never endanger everyone like that.”

But the air freezes when Razran’s cold answer sounds.

“Wha- Then...” while the other ‘innocent’ creatures are confused or relieved... Cordelia and the other witches immediately understand what he means.

“Moreover, I have already spoken with one of the elders.”

“They were troubled as well... and they told me to do as I see fit.” Razran finishes while standing up and putting a hand on his sword.

This time everyone freezes...

Cordelia can hear Camelia gasping, and when she glances at her... both of her friends - even Selene - are frozen in shock.

“H-He wouldn’t... right?” Camelia whispers with trembling lips.

“T-that ******* wants to kill her?! Bastion!!! If we don’t do something-”

Cordelia doesn’t hear the rest of what Selene says...

Finally, she notices that the arms around her have started trembling.

When she glances at the guy behind her, Cordelia realizes that even Bastion is panicking.
